Imagine this: it’s a breezy summer afternoon, and you’re surrounded by friends who have a taste for adventure. A bottle of Gewürztraminer sits, chilled and ready, waiting to tell its story—a tale that begins in the cool, rolling hills of Tumbarumba. Gewürztraminer vines prefer cooler climates, which helps maintain their natural acidity and develop complex aromatics.
The name "Gewürz" means "spice" in German, a nod to its aromatic, intensely perfumed nature. Gewürztraminer, however, is believed to have originated in the Alsace region of France, but its roots can be traced back to the grape variety Traminer, which hails from the Alto Adige region in northern Italy. It’s often recognised for its unmistakable bouquet of rose petals, lychee, and exotic spices, making it a standout among other aromatic white varieties.
Crack open our latest release, and instantly, you’re greeted with the flirtatious aromas of rose petal, citrus verbena, and a hint of Turkish delight. Lychee joins in, adding an exotic touch, while a unique grape spice rounds it out, like a beloved family secret ready to be shared. The Gewürztraminer is more than just a wine; it’s an invitation to explore a new side of summer.
Pour a glass, and let the adventure continue. The palate is luxurious and lush, gliding across the tongue with a fullness that whispers of something bold yet incredibly drinkable. This wine doesn’t linger in mystery—it’s exuberant, confident, and unafraid to bring its personality to the forefront. The finish? Long, memorable, and ready to entice you for another sip.
So, what does one pair with a wine as spirited as this? Imagine a spread of spicy dishes like Thai green curry, where the Gewürztraminer’s full-bodied charm cools the heat and lifts the flavours into something extraordinary. Or perhaps a Middle Eastern mezze, with its layers of flavour: lamb koftas, spiced chickpeas, and grilled halloumi. The wine’s touch of sweetness and vibrant acidity brings out the best in these dishes, creating a balance that keeps your palate craving more.
And who will enjoy this wine? Anyone! It’s perfect for sunny days spent with friends, or evenings where laughter flows as freely as the Gewürztraminer in your glass. So gather your friends, crack a bottle… there’s always something to celebrate.
